Myths and Fallacies in marine conservation

After 25 years of good news propaganda, while
unaware of changing circumstances, proponents of marine reserves have spread
disinformation, exaggerating the actual benefits of marine reserves while
hiding bad news. Now most people, being uninformed about how different
the sea is from the land, have strong beliefs which they use to bring harm
to others for no benefit in return. Through the United Nations, all nations
are pressured to lock up a substantial part of the sea, for little or no
benefit. This section aims to redress the arguments, not to discredit people
but to remove myths and fallacies from the marine reserves debate. Only
through truth will we be able to save the sea for future generations.

reserves. Unbelievable, educational, with links to a carefully documented
litany of misrepresentation of facts and right-out lies. A must-read for
all. The honeymoon is over.
